Global Airborne LiDAR Market is estimated to reach $6,273.9 Million by 2025; growing at a CAGR of 21.4% from 2017 to 2025. LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing technology, which uses light in the form of pulsed laser to measure various targets. A LiDAR can generate pulses of laser light to a surface and may go up to 150,000 pulses per second and airborne LiDAR instrument uses a laser scanner with up to 400,000 pulses of light per second. An airborne LiDAR is able to cover large areas of land safely and accurately in a matter of minutes.

The global airborne LiDAR market is mainly driven by rising demand for 3D imaging, rising use of UAVs in numerous Type industries, and reduction in price of drones. Moreover, enormous prospects in GIS applications are likely to provide several growth opportunities for the market in the forecast period. However, lack of skilled personals and high cost of the instrument may hinder the growth of the market.

On the basis of geography, global airborne LiDAR market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). North America is further bifurcated into U.S., Canada, and Mexico whereas Europe segment consist of UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Rest of Europe. Asia-Pacific is segmented into India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific while RoW is bifurcated into South America, Middle East, and Africa.
